Title: Improvements in or connected with Electric Switches.
Inventor: LEITNER HENRY
IPC: H01H51/08
Filed: 1912-06-18
Granted: 1913-06-18
Abstract: 14,270. Leitner, H. June 18. Switches, actuating.-Relates to switches of the kind in which alternate strokes of a reciprocating member in one direction causes a rocking switch arm to be moved to and fro. According to the invention, a rectilinearly reciprocating member d is adapted to engage a pin f on the lower end of a member g, which is pivoted on a right-angled extension h of the rocking switcharm j, j<1> and is free to swing symmetrically on either side of the switch-pivot. In its upward movement from the position shown in Fig. 1, the member d, acting upon the member g, rocks the switch-arm in a clockwise direction as shown in Fig. 4. During the return stroke of the member d, the member g swings by gravity to the vertical position carrying the pin f to the other side of the switch pivot so that the next forward stroke of the member d moves the rocking switch-arm in the opposite direction. Instead of relying upon a gravity control of the member g, it may be moved positively to the vertical position by providing it with rigid or elastic extensions r adapted to be engaged by a pin s upon the member d during the return movement thereof. Electro - magnetic actuation. - In the form shown in the Figures the member d is operated in one direction by the plunger b of an electromagnet a and is returned by a spring c. If desired, a second electro-magnet may be employed to produce the return movement, and the switch may be arranged for operation either electro-magnetically or by hand.

A driving-shaft 3 carries a friction sun gear C<1> and an internal gear A. Planetary gears 2 on a carrier B' engage the gear C<1> and an internal gear A'. Planetary gears 1 on a carrier B engage the gear A and a sun gear C. A driven shaft 4 carries a clutch member e capable of engaging a member f on the carrier B or a member n on the gear C. For the first speed, the carrier B<1> is held by a brake b and the members a, f are mutually engaged. The gear C is driven backwards and the carrier B slowly forwards For the second speed, the gear A' is held by a brake c and the carrier B<1> is connected to the carrier B bv a clutch d. The train C<1>, B<1>, A<1> operates alone with a gearing-down action. When the train A, B, C operates alone, the third speed is produced. This is effected by holding the gear C by a brake g, the members e, f remaining in engagement. The fourth speed is a solid drive obtained by clutching the shafts 3, 4. directly or by clutching together the members of one or both of the gear trains. For the reversed drive, the carriers B, B<1> are clutched together, the brake c is applied, and the gear C is clutched to the shaft 4. The carrier B is driven from the other train forwardly, but so slowly that the gear C is driven reversely.
